Captain Kirk and Spock were on the Bridge, staring at something on the screen, when Scotty walked over.
"What is it, Captain," Scotty questioned.
"I don't know, Scotty…looks like some sort of storm cloud." Captain Kirk answered, staring at the giant pink and magenta spinning vortex before the ship.
"Have yah tried firing at it, sir?"
"No…Mr. Sulu, shoot a phaser into it and see what happens."
Sulu and Chekov messed with the controls for a while, then fired a phaser. It simply just went into the vortex and never was in sight after that.
Spock raised an eyebrow.
"It appears that this object has a massive gravitational pull towards the center of it, Captain." Spock answered.
"It appears so; Mr. Sulu, is it possible to go around it?" Captain Kirk questioned.
"Negative, sir; the gravitational pull will be too strong and pull us in." Chekov answered.
"Go to Warp 9,"
"Captain," Scotty gasped.
Sulu nodded and put the ship into Warp 9, and the ship, luckily, made it passed the storm cloud. Sulu and Chekov put them back on their original course headed to Cornia V.
In Sickbay…
Dr. McCoy was scrounging up papers and work and neatly organizing them into files, when Spock entered.
"Hello, there," Dr. McCoy spoke, with a smile.
"Good evening, Leonard," Spock answered.
"How are you doing,"
"Better, now,"
"Me too,"
Spock and Dr. McCoy were about to gently kiss, when their 15 year old daughter, Jamie, walked in. She simply threw her bag to the ground and plopped onto a leather couch on the side of the wall. Spock and Dr. McCoy looked at her, as she began texting her friends with her cell phone.
"Jamie…how was school," Spock questioned.
"Oh, I skipped; Marge, Frenchy, and I decided to go hang out in the bowling alley, instead." Jamie answered, too lost into her phone.
Dr. McCoy glared at her.
"I thought I told you to stop doing that, young lady." Dr. McCoy spoke, less than flattered.
"Oh, come on; Frenchy got onto the Wall of Fame!" Jamie stated, with a wink. She thought this was nothing more than a fun game, but to Spock and Dr. McCoy, it was anywhere from funny.
"How many times have your Papa and I told you that education is necessary to have a future?" Spock questioned, his arms crossed behind his back.
"Yeah, because you do anything else in your life, Dad." Jamie spoke, snotty back.
"Don't use that tone of voice with your Dad, little girl." Dr. McCoy snarled.
"You don't scare me, Quack," Jamie answered back.
"Go to your quarters…and give me your phone." Dr. McCoy snarled.
"No," Jamie replied back, leaving for the cafeteria to meet up with Marge and Frenchy.
Dr. McCoy sighed with frustration.
"What happened to our sweet little Jamie; she didn't always act like this." Dr. McCoy answered.
Spock rubbed his shoulders gently.
"She's going through the stages of being a teenager; it'll pass over soon, Leonard." Spock answered.
Dr. McCoy turned around and sighed.
"You sure, Spock," He questioned.
"Affirmative, Leonard," Spock answered.
Dr. McCoy smiled, and him and Spock hugged each other in their arms.
